Randy "The Macho Man" Savage has died. The wrestling superstar suffered a heart attack while driving. He was 58 years old. Savage, known for his signature "elbow drop" move was among the most popular wrestlers of the 1980s, squaring off against all the biggest old-school stars including Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, Ric Flair, and countless WWE jobbers you've never heard of. Macho Man is best known for his Wrestlemania bout against Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat during Wrestlemania 3 in 1987.

The great Mike D'Alonzo has written a touching tribute to the late, great Macho Man on our sister blog, Attack of the Blog. Check it out.

Savage parted ways with the WWE back in the mid 1990s, but recently reunited with the company in video game form in WWE All-Stars, a game that allowed players to take on the role of classic wrestlers. Check him out in the video below:

let me say that I HATE wrestling...but I got respect for an old-schooler who helped make it popular and was in it back when it was at least a LITTLE more real than it is today... RIP big guy

One of my favorite things he did was when he fought Peter Parker/Spiderman in the first movie...."I got you for three minutes, Freak Show!"

Wow. Almost an hour and no comments?

I was expecting a "too many Slim Jims" joke by someone.

oh well.

He'll be missed. I enjoyed his matches back when I watched back in the 80s and early 90s.
